On August 20, 2006 an accident occurred with a car and the Blue Line on the Washington Blvd section (at Maple Ave) in the section identical to the proposed Expo Line design on Exposition Blvd from just east of Arlington to just west of Figueroa. The report gets the age of those killed incorrectly. According to the 7 yr old boy's mother who was left in critical condition, the deceased were 25 and 17 years old, not 40 years old as was incorrectly reported.
